We stayed for a long weekend as a family. The home had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and pool. The home many items needed for the beach including boogie boards, sand toys, chairs and an umbrella which was really wonderful!

A weekend trip with family and friends. Thoroughly enjoyed the beach drive, the community, and the relaxation. Blake was super friendly and very responsive! The house was clean and taken care of. Enjoyed being the first to jump in the new pool! Would definitely come back for a longer stay!
House was very clean, in good repair, and well stocked with everything you would need. Owners were very responsive and the check-in process could not have been easier. Would stay here again in the future!
Quiet, remote, away from the stereotypical touristy stuff, 2 blocks from the beach, a great location to decompress and recharge. We are thankful for having the opportunity to stay at this house as it met all our needs. We'd definitely consider staying here again in the future.
No words to describe how beautiful it is here! The house is immaculate! Everything you need and more to enjoy the vacation. Owners were great and very helpful! Wish we could have stayed longer. Such a fun adventure!
The owners were beautiful. They were hospitable and called to check on us to make sure we were safe
This was a great experience. My children were super happy that the beach was so near. In addition, the home was very clean and had every thing we needed. I especially love the view of the ocean from the kitchen window.
The house was perfect and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We cooked every morning packed up, went to the beach came home spent some time in the hot tub and then repeats for all the days that we were there.
The very first day that we were there, we saw a wild horse grazing on the front yard. It was funny because he tapped the garbage can as he was walking away.
Second time staying here and planning on coming more
We enjoyed our second stay at Vicky and Blake’s house for our summer vacation.
It was cozy, clean, and felt like we were at home. Kitchen and rooms had everything that we needed for our stay, and everything was in good condition. Plenty of board games to bring family together. Views from decks on both sides of the house were memorable. The house offers a lot of privacy, away from too many people. Blake was available to answer our questions in a timely manner, and even gave us heads up about NASA rocket launch that was taking place that week - took many nice photos and videos of the rocket flying through the night sky.
We all were sad to leave this place, and planning on staying at this house again in the future.
This place is great and clean. However, you need a Jeep or something with high clearance and not just AWD. The road to the property is 10 miles on a beach with very deep sand at times. You need to be very comfortable driving in loose sand. Our vehicle was 4WD but the clearance was not great and we got stuck a few times, but were able to dig out. However, it made future trips into town a bit stressful.
The owners did warn about the need for a 4WD, I just didn't think it would be as deep and far as it was in reality. The property is great once you arrive.

Perfect house for a February get-away!
The hosts were incredible, very fast in response time and pleasant to deal with! Blake accommodated our request to stay another night without any hesitation, we were enjoying ourselves so much we wanted to stay longer! House was beautiful and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were provided, nice to arrive to a made bed! 4x4 beaches are not for everyone but we loved the seclusion and having a different experience at the outer banks! Be prepared to take essentials and food with you, the nearest store is quite a far drive. We enjoyed the drive daily to check out different things. The wild horses came to visit almost daily and we also watched them on the beach. Definitely need a 4x4 vehicle... We recommend this house and host highly....well worth it!
We have traveled to the Outer Banks several times, but this was the first time on 4x4 beach. I was a little skeptical, but once we figured out the lay of the land we enjoyed the laid back feeling. The house was amazing. Very clean, well stocked, great ocean views. While there are other houses around, they’re not all on top of each other. We loved sitting on the back balcony having coffee in the morning and the front porch in the evening to look at the horses and deer. Can’t get that anywhere else in OBX. Blake was a wonderful owner to work with. He promptly answered our questions. We have rented many properties, and he is the first owner we met in person. One bit of advice-have a map app/GPS available on your phone or car to find the house. There are street names but no street signs. We found it just fine with an app but without one not sure how we would have. We would love to visit again!
This was our first time staying in Carova-make sure your 4x4 is in working order beforehand. Unfortunately our truck couldn’t navigate through the soft sand even though we aired way down to 10 psi. Called Mr. Clipper for assistance and he immediately sent help. We ended up renting a jeep the next day which was actually pretty fun.
The house was easy to find on our navigation and Mr. Culpepper actually called us beforehand to let us know we were good to go and check- in a little earlier than expected. We found the house to be very accommodating and clean. The main floor is actually on the top floor, so you get great views. We did see a few horses outside the front door and on the beach. There’s an outside shower that’s really convenient so you can rinse the sand off your feet before going inside.
On the tail-end of our stay, we attended a family wedding in Corolla so I was a little nervous driving back on the beach at night. A sea turtle must have laid eggs because they had a group of folks directing traffic with flashing lights so as to not accidentally run over the nest. Very cool to see that!
Really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet, relaxing and we saw several horses. House was perfect for our family, well equipped and clean. Much appreciated. We plan to return.
Sometimes the amount of stars for places dont do it justice, I wish i could give this place 10 stars per category!! Blake and Vicky were amazing, and have made this place a go to for many years to come! We stay during July 4th week, this was the first time as a family without other friends there! The house is amazing, the view is out of this world, you can see the ocean and hear the waves at night, its absolutely amazing and so relaxing, the pool, what an amazing addition, we spent time on the beach, and days in the pool. A 4x4 is a must, air down to 12 psi, drop it in 4WD, pick a rut and enjoy the 30-40 min drive down the beach. Pack each day and drive out on the beach and park, and when you want to leave, pack up and drive back to the house! We most certainly will be staying again and look forward to it already!
Second time staying at Vicky and Blake’s house. We love it. Horizon views are great for sunrises. Had horses in the yard. Perfect place to get away from your fellow humans! Highly recommend!

Was the best vacation ever! The house was beautiful! The location was perfect! Time together as a family, priceless! Blake and Vickie were great hosts! Already told them we plan on making their house our vacation spot for next year. If you are looking for a relaxing spot away from the hustle and bustle of the OBX tourism, this location is for you. You will not be disappointed.
